7 Reasons to Try an Infrared Sauna Session

What can boost circulation, ease muscle tension, promote weight loss and activate the release of toxins from your system? An infrared sauna session. What’s even better: You get to relax while the sauna does all the work!

Detoxification is a big theme for us right now—the spring season is a perfect time to detoxify and activate rejuvenation. There are so many tools to help us reenergize with a “spring cleaning” and each has its role to play. What we love about the infrared sauna is that it offers multiple benefits all wrapped up in the feeling of giving yourself a spa treatment.

In fact, an infrared sauna session is one of the most popular detox services at our clinic—either enjoyed on its own or in conjunction with other treatments such as acupuncture and massage.

An infrared sauna provides a deep and gently penetrating heat. It operates at a lower temperature than traditional saunas and so can feel more comfortable, and yet has even greater benefits. It emits a red spectrum wavelength that research shows to be safe and therapeutic (far infrared rays are even used in hospitals to warm newborn babies).

Benefits include:

Detoxification

Weight loss

Improved circulation

Reduced stress and improved sleep

Joint and muscle pain relief and faster injury recovery

Uplifted mood

Stronger immune system

These are seven great reasons to give the infrared sauna a try.

Detoxification

Studies show that the sweat you release in an infrared sauna session contains less water and up to six times more fat, toxins and impurities than regular sweat.

Weight Loss

When you produce sweat, you expend energy. An infrared sauna session also activates your metabolic rate so that you burn calories at a higher rate for hours after your session. Of course, in any sauna, you’ll lose water weight, which is readily regained, but the calories that you burn can translate into real and sustainable weight loss.

Improved Circulation and Heart Health

The sauna naturally stimulates circulation, increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin to dissipate heat. Your heart rate and metabolic rate increase while blood pressure drops. In fact, research has shown that a 15 – 30-minute infrared sauna session can result in dramatic reductions in blood pressure.

In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, repeated infrared sauna sessions resulted in improved vascular and cardiac function, and reduced symptoms of chronic heart failure (CHF) in patients diagnosed with CHF.

Reduced Stress and Improved Sleep

An infrared sauna session promotes relaxation and stimulates endorphins, effectively reducing stress and resulting in improved sleep for many who try it.

Joint and Muscle Pain Relief and Speedier Injury and Wound Recovery

The therapeutic heat from far infrared waves penetrates deeply into the tissues, helping to relieve joint and muscle pain. The increased blood flow also promotes wound healing and recovery from injury.

It’s also be shown to reduce pain from chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, chronic back pain, fibromyalgia and more.

Uplifted Mood

Far infrared rays are said to mimic the benefits of natural sunlight and chase the blues away. An infrared sauna session can uplift your mood and combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), symptoms of which include depression, irritability and lethargy.

Stronger Immune System

The heat from the sauna creates what might be called an “artificial fever”–the body’s core temperature increases to the point beyond which certain microbes can tolerate. Blood circulation and the production of white blood cells increase to combat colds, flu and other infections.

All this, and it also improves the look and feel of your skin. The increased blood flow and collagen production from an infrared sauna session, combined with the flushing out of toxins can improve skin health and give you a glowing appearance.

Path With Heart XXIX – The Dark Sea of Awareness

This Cycle starts on December 9, 2018 and goes through February 24, 2019.

This Series emphasizes the Breath as our connection to the Dark Sea of Awareness – this is, according to Seers in Ancient Mexico, the source for consciousness and the fuel for our growth as beings on an evolutionary journey.

Breathing is our life source and our source of consciousness. It is the most accessible, almost tangible, expression of the energy that flows within and through our bodies, and we can redirect that flow of energy by redirecting the breath. A shift in consciousness is a shift in your breathing, and vice-versa. Breathing is the source for recapitulation, for releasing trauma, for creativity, for growth. We look forward to breathe unrestricted, easily and fully.

Path With Heart XXVIII – The Active Side of Infinity

This cycle starts on September 9 and goes through November 25, 2018.

What is the nature of consciousness and where does it take place? The Active Side of Infinity is a term coined by Carlos Castaneda and refers to the field of consciousness where all our actions and all manifestations take place. In other traditions it can be called karma. In Modern science might call it the Higgs field. It is the manifested, active side of the universe that exists everywhere and all at once. It is the basic field that can only be experienced with self-awareness.

In this Cycle we will emphasize a thorough recapitulation of specific past experiences that influenced who we are today, with the purpose of liberating the wisdom and the energy left in those experiences, bringing them to the present moment empowered.

The recapitulation is based in the principle that all memories are embedded within this active field of infinity, stored. They can be accessed, shifted, and brought back to change our present and be completed. The recapitulation will include past events imbued with an awareness of our limited time, our death, in order to bring that mood into the present and help us face new decisions.

To support our practice, during this Cycle we will learn how to apply the Seven Principles of the Art of Stalking to our daily lives.

Mexico 2018 Workshop: Tours

On Saturday Morning we will visit:

MUSEO DEL TEMPLO MAYOR at the ZOCALO from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

The entrance fee for the museum is 70 pesos. At the museum we will see a number of impressive pieces. One of the is the monolith of Tlaltecuhtli–the deity that gave birth to life, “the Lord or Lady of the Earth,” a god that was venerated and at the same time feared for devouring all beings once they fulfilled their life cycle. We all live our life cycle, but how do we want to live it? What is our legacy? We will see a Teotihuacan mask, made of an intense green stone, with incrustations of shell and obsidian in eyes and teeth. We will also see an Olmec mask that is the oldest object found so far in the Templo Mayor. These artefacts represent the recovery of the past, a very important activity for Mexica. For us this activity is also about recovering the past and bringing it back to full consciousness without any judgments, then breathing it and letting it go—the evolution of the being and its blossoming in the present.

We will also see the Águila Warriors, and Huehuetéotl, the old god of fire that inhabits the center of the Universe. We will see Coyolxauhqui, the Goddess whose name, according to the myth, means “The one that is adorned with rattles on the cheeks”. She lies dismembered at the base of the Templo Mayor, after her brother Huitzilopochtli threw her down the steps.

All the pieces that we will explore inside this magnificent museum will show us the important elements of our origins, informing us about the Mexica culture in the old Tenochtitlan. In this way we can explore our connection to a lineage that is also ours. We look forward to guiding you through time and through awareness of our own lives, connected to the Mexica spirit.

On Sunday morning we will visit

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF CUICUILCO from 8:30 to 11:30 am

We will walk in silence and in a state of meditation through the archaeological zone of CUICUILCO. (Preclassical period 800 B.C. to 250 A.D.). It is located in the south end of what was the Texcoco lake, in the south of Mexico City. In Nahuatl “Cuicuilco” means: “Place where songs and dances are made.”

We will connect with our lineage and its wisdom from the place of our own dance and song, from our own living being. We will learn a little about the city as we walk toward its great circular pyramid.

We will discover what unites us with its energy and legacy.

This city was one of the oldest important population centers of the valley of Mexico. It is contemporary to and probably had contact with the Olmec culture on the Gulf coast of Mexico, including Veracruz and Tabasco, an area also known as the Olmec nucleus.

In Cuicuilco a monument was found that perhaps contains the first cosmological presentation of Mesoamerica.

With the eruption of the Xitle Volcano, the city was partially destroyed. The eruption formed a layer of lava that partially or totally covered the architectural structures. The city’s decline began at the start of the second century A.D. There were migrations and resettling of its population, after inhabitants left for other cities in the Mexico basin. Its apogee was the consolidation of Teotihuacán as the governing center of the classic period, thus becoming first great metropolis of Mesoamerica.

The inhabitants of Cuicuilco left behind their homes, their beloved land, everything.

They left their vision of the world. It was necessary to rebuild everything in another place. From a different perspective, based on the analogy of Cuicuilco, starting from what we consider our community and the fixed idea of ​​ourselves and others, we can change all of this in our own evolution. We can rearrange our thinking and our essence to reflect a different reality and flourish again.

Our walk in silence and meditation towards the upper center of the Circular Pyramid of Cuicuilco will connect us with this feeling of evolution and renewal as we continue to explore our legacy.

You at the Croome Court

It is precisely in this rich history and special location that you will be unequally inspired to experience your lineage in an intimate, immediate way, to both liberate yourself from bindings and patterns you might be unconsciously carrying from it, as well as to reclaim energy and valuable knowledge from your lineage that you haven’t considered up to now. Polish the links along your lineage, reclaim yourself as a living link along a long chain of people to whom you are historically linked to, and emerge at the end of this special retreat more powerful, more confident about where you come from and where you are going in your life, ready to follow your destiny.

Path With Heart XXVII – Master Aging

In this cycle, starting on June 3 and go through August 19, 2018, we tackle something that we can’t avoid but that we can become masters at: Old-Age.

Carlos Castaneda described ‘old age” as the fourth enemy of a man of knowledge. This is the enemy that cannot be overcome; it can only be postponed. Old-age isn’t necessarily chronological: it also refers to the lack of interest, enthusiasm and energy to thrive in life. “What ages you is your inner-dialogue” he used to say.

We live in an exciting time where knowledge and technology are coming together to transform the way the human body goes through age. At the same time, human consciousness is now at a point where anyone can change from within one’s belief systems and perceptions of age.

Join this cycle to learn about mastering your energy by mastering your energy levels and to prioritize your journey of grow as the top item of your life. Get ready for a vibrant closing of the Lead your Legacy trilogy!

Path with Heart XXVI – Use Death as an Advisor

In this cycle, starting on March 4 through May 20, 2018, we present how we can use the awareness of death as our most powerful advisor and life booster. Nothing can give us more impetus, momentum and clarity to our actions than the presence of death. Knowing that today may be the last day of my life, creates a healthy urgency for alignment with what really matters and to lead your legacy with impeccability.

Carlos Castaneda, our teacher and mentor, said, “Every bit of knowledge that becomes power has death as its central force”.

Death is everywhere: at sunset, at the end of the day, the falling of the petal of a rose, the bottom of the page you are reading, the end of the breath you are taking. Ending is part of the renewal and transformation of all processes. It is an inflexion point from where the new begins. Using death as an ally catapults us into new reflections, into a deep gratitude for the simple yet powerful act of being alive. It is what gives warriors an edge.

Join this cycle to explore and learn about acknowledging death as a most trusted friend.

Path With Heart XXV – Turn Fear into Real Power

In this cycle, starting on December 3rd and moving into the New Year, through February 25, 2018, we address what Carlos Castaneda considered to be the two key natural enemies of a man of knowledge: Fear and Power, and how these play a crucial role in our ability to dream and to create an intentional legacy.

Overcoming fear means to fully experience it and cross through its length, moving towards our goals without giving up. It is to stop running away and to connect to a source of Real Power inside ourselves that doesn’t look for external approval, or for ‘fitting in”. Real power comes from an internal strength that allows you to keep moving forward in spite of fear.

Real Power best develops from a daily practice based on inner observation, reflection and daring, and from experiencing wholehearted compassion and kindness for ourselves and others, and from unfolding deeper understandings of ourselves as part of the whole.

Join this cycle to wrap up 2017 and create new powerful intentions for the New Year.

In Teotihuacan, located 45 km northeast of Mexico City, the spiritual and material knowledge of the Mesoamerican people reached a high level of expression through architecture, urban planning and art. The capital city of Anahuac was known as Tollan (Tula in Castilian) and its inhabitants as Toltecs. The Popol Vuh mentions Zuiwa Tollan, which translates as “city of the abyss,” the abyss referring to the other side of the world, the second attention. Teotihuacan was the visible representation of the second attention.

Teotihuacan was, in its time, the largest and most populous political and religious center of the Americas. It was, without a doubt, a splendid and refined city, and its inhabitants made milestones in all manner of arts and sciences.

Nobody knows Teotihuacan’s origin. Not even the best archaeologists know how her story began. The only certainty is that the heart of the Valley of Mexico has a string of monumental constructions, where two enigmatic and high pyramids stand out, dedicated to the worship of the Sun and the Moon. Their original name was Tollan.

Teotihuacan’s writing was based on phonetic and ideographic glyphs, which have defied reliable or adequate translation; much remains to be learned. The numerical writing, inherited from the earlier Olmecs, was based on dots and dashes.

A crowning example of the high degree of civilization reached by the Toltec culture is architectural—some of the most impressive pre-Hispanic buildings in the world, like the Pyramid of the Sun (the second largest structure in Mesoamerica), the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl among others, are all clustered around a long avenue. This avenue, extending beyond 2 km, is known as The Street of the Dead because of the large number of small pyramids along its path, which early archaeologists believed were tombs. A more modern interpretation is that this avenue represents the Milky Way.

A number of palaces, like the one for Quetzalpapalotl, and several well-preserved murals recount in a very refined and beautiful way the worldview of this culture.

Teotihuacan did not disappear mysteriously. Instead, it was carefully dismantled, its buildings sealed and then abandoned around the year 530 AD. Then, it was reoccupied by immigrants for another two centuries until a great fire marked its final end.

The intent of the ancient seers, who lived in what is now called Mexico, ensure that Teotihuacan still remains a center of power today, to which visitors flock every year. The power of Teotihuacan is still strong.
